Developer Poorna Singh Baghel shares the architecture of Betrox AI, an autonomous desktop agent that controls your OS, and asks for technical feedback:
- BYOK & local encryption: your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini keys, no subscription markup; credentials encrypted (AES-256-GCM) in Windows Credential Manager.
- Multi-worker orchestration: centralized resource locks, TTL leases, and confirmation gates for safe concurrent background tasks.
- Native Windows perception: screenshot vision plus UI Automation tree hooks for sub-20ms element targeting instead of pure visual guessing.
- Self-healing recovery: recalculates alternate UI paths when apps crash or popups block the screen.
- Cross-app workflows: maintains context across browser, Excel, VS Code, and File Explorer.
An interactive Live Workload Simulator is live; developer alpha targeted for March 2027, beta mid-2027, launch September 2027.
